Beatrix kennel - raised door height

As Beatrix has continued to grow

She had gotten just as tall as the kennel that used to dwarf her.  Now if she does not "duck" as she enters and exits her kennel she will bump her back

 I thought about how are you increase the kennel  height by 6,12 or 18 inches as she gets taller in the next year however I was looking at the kennel and figured out how I can get another two to three inches easy.

I could just cut away a portion of the cage above the door.  The two inches there does not keep the dog in and only makes it so that as she exits it is more difficult. Well I got out my bolt cutters and some pliers and went to work.

I used pliers to break the jagged barbs off so that they would not slice her open if she rubbed against them.

Finally I put the table top on and close the door. Notice the gap at the top this is the extra  space that i just created for Beatrix.
